I once read that we can see God’s wisdom reflected back to us in the natural world. That nature can act like a mirror to discover divine wisdom. My art uses symbolism to paint these hidden reflections.
A New Painting Journey
In 2025, I started a new journey in my art. Having primarily painted with acrylics, I've made the switch to oil to use some unique pigments made out of pollution from Ohio waterways. Starting in 2026, all of my paintings will be using the Reclaimed Earth Colors from Gamblin, a project to clean our waterways by repurposing toxic iron oxides pulled from Ohio rivers into safe-to-use oil paints. My goal is to have these pigments make up 50% or more of my palette for each painting. Living in the Ohio River Valley, this project really speaks to me, and I hope we all can find ways to support it.
